I've never had a problem with the gloss, then again I don't have it on a laptop and I don't sit near windows.
I think the greener screen just means it uses less energy, eh?

shame on apple for not fully testing their glossy screens to make sure they work for people who work on the sun
i like to set up 30 or so shop lights behind me while i work and this damn thing is almost unusable
- 30? I only use 25doesnotexist

- YES! i'm being facetious . i LOVE the glossy screen on my imac and just find it funny the complaints about direct sunlight.kona

I wonder if they tested it for people who like to work underwater.

you guys talk about this as if I said that I was working in the desert (which I did when I performed at burning man a few years back, but I had a poberbook aluminium, and it was night time).
I was at a coffee shop dude.
you know, those places were 5 years ago people would chat, socialize and read newspapers and now they all sit in front of a computer w headphones cranked all the way up cause they can't stand amy whinehouse on the shop's speakers.come on be real, is not unusual to take your laptop w you on the road, why would you buy a laptop if you are going to have it parked on an office 24/7.
- I'm with you on this, but something tells me the world doesn't care.rafalski
- it doesn't.
oh well, just though I throw it out there to warn people about this.Meeklo - Create a website and twitter it.JSK
- twitter that shiiiiit!doesnotexist
- I predict a market for matte shield films. But looking at the unconditional Obama - like love mbs get, they won't sell manyrafalski
- Good point there. But how many people work in a coffee-house with the sun on their back?Corvo2
- I bought my mb to be able to work outside on a nice day. It's useless outside, even if Ireland has no sunlight whatsoever.rafalski

They forgot about that most of the Apple geeks are not in the mainstream.
I was going to buy a MB Air but it only came with glossy. I still wanted it but the Apple guys told me not to get a glossy if you are doing pro work. They said, glossy is for blonde princesses.

This just means that my powerbook bought 10 months ago with matte is going to keep a decent re-sale value. Besides I'm really liking this silver design and classic case. Suckers.

Meeklo, thanks for making this post.
Like I mentioned before, I'm thinking about getting a MBP.
I had mad the decision to go with the previous version but after I played with the new one I was starting to get tempted!I just think for the money the new one cost, I dont want to be unhappy with the screen. + the previous MBP will do the same as the new one.

what a bunch of whining wenches.
You know it has a glass screen before you by it so get a different Computer. Screen covers are possible as well.
Apple are only going to produce these screens from now deal with it or don't buy an Mac.

my 17 inch pro has a nice matt screen and 1920 x 1600 res.... hmmmm

When i saw the MBP in the store with that oprtion, i thought great feature...but actually not. I pushed the brightness to the max and it was rather dark....so I opted for a MacBook (smaller screen) but the brightness is at the minimum and the screen is already bright enough....apple knows what they are doing....enhance the look and leave the brightness aside.....hehe

You knew it had a glossy screen before you bought it, right?
